Schedule Example

See tests/schedule_run directory for how to use this as a permanent job scheduler.

Stream Audio Example

See tests/stream_audio directory for how to use the Streamer and StreamClient class.

import ipc_mngr

with ipc_mngr.Streamer(('127.0.0.1', 8222), authkey='12345') as streamer:
    while True:
        streamer.broadcast(1)  # streamer.stream(1)

def save_data(client, value):
    data.append(value)

with ipc_mngr.StreamClient(('127.0.0.1', 8222), authkey='12345') as client:
    start = time.time()
    client.stream_handler = save_data

    # Save data for 5 seconds
    while time.time() - start < SECONDS:
        time.sleep(1)

print('Collected {} samples'.format(len(data)))
